I don't think Liberty is being shunned by the NCAA, at least not yet. However, I think conferences and/or school presidents are probably disregarding Liberty due to their beliefs and views. But, Liberty has things that they really need to improve (and they're working on it) like academic prestige, big money sport results (football, men's basketball, baseball, women's basketball, etc.), fan following, media coverage, etc. Liberty can't change it's location but it's location isn't a negative in my opinion.

I find it highly ironic that a big negative of Liberty is it's online diploma mill perception where Liberty embraces the future of online academics compared to the perception of Liberty's beliefs being considered "living in the past." Quite the contradiction in my opinion.

It is a fear of mine that the NCAA would kick out schools with discriminatory policies which they'd mostly argue that Liberty has some. I hope it would never come to this but there are those who want to see this happen.
